Key social media influencers’ word clouds
August 15th, 2008 by Andy Merchant
I have been meaning to try out the “word clouds” tool that has been doing the rounds out for a while now!
The tool is called Wordle and it’s great for getting highly customisable visualisations of keywords.
The below word clouds are from the homepages of key social media influencers.

No surprises in the word clouds, and the biggest mentions go to Twitter, social media, blogs - SEO is mentioned but not as much as I would have imagined (although these clouds are only from the homepages, they probably give a fairly good indication of keywords within the rest of the site, but others could be more prominant).
This is a great little tool that can be used in many ways such as identifying competitor’s keywords and messaging.
The man behind Wordle is a gent called Jonathan Feinberg - a Senior Software Engineer at IBM Research. Thanks Jonathan for creating a fab tool.
